I went to start a thread about refugees and asylum seekers last night but...

[j*oono]

I copied some photos last night and I wanted to post them here but I thought better of it because they are very distressing.

Is it time for Tony Abbott, Dutton and Chris Morrison to look into their hearts?

Turn back the boats to what?  Stop the boats for what reason?  I have no doubt that they have seen these photos of a young 3yr old boy washed up on the beach and his slightly older brother and his mother drowned too.

They are the ones in power Nevyn.  Who else should we ask to try and do something to help? 

If someone else had started the thread, you might have chosen to respond differently so I hardly think it's my fault that people have taken such offence and hopped on the lefty right wing swing.

This is Kobane.  The Syrian town they fled.

I hardly think that the father just wanted his teeth fixed.

Really don't care who started the thread. This is an issue for European countries, Australia has no say in it, so blaming the current government of Australia for what's happening in Europe achieves what?

isis is doing to people there, are horrific.

That's the point though. They were in a safe place, wasn't good enough?

kobane needs help

Appeal: Call for international aid to rebuild and normalize life in the canton of Kobane

After months of fighting, our brave YPG and YPJ units have successfully driven out all ISIS terrorists from our democratic canton of Kobane. We are grateful for all the international support that we have received to achieve this victory in battle. However, as of yet, we have received no official humanitarian aid from any government or international organization. Out of the 525,000 civilians from the Kobane canton, only 25,000 currently reside within Kobane. Of the remaining civilians, 200,000 are currently trapped in Turkey and the rest have spread to different countries. They are all waiting to return to their homes. In order to facilitate the smooth transition of refugees back to their rightful homes, there are a number of obstacles that must be overcome.
